CAM Blog Podcast: Sam Harrelson of AffSpot
Jul 28, 2008 Affiliate Industry News
Today was a big day in the affiliate marketing industry. I posted earlier with a video from Sam Harrelson, founder of AffSpot.com talking about the launch of the new AffSpot affiliate marketing forum site.
I have known Sam for a while and respected his work and insight on his blogs CostPerNews, AffiliateFortuneCookie, and as the editor at Revenews. I bonded originally with Sam when he asked if “pinko lefties” like him were welcome at my Gospel Brunch at Affiliate Summit West a couple of years back. Come to find out that Sam is working on wrapping up his MDiv degree. I may just have to ask him to be our official CAMA Chaplain.

Sam and some others including long time ABW’ers Billy Kay, Ron Bechtold, Kellie Stevens and Aunesty Jannsen came to the conclusion that the affiliate industry needed another place for discussion where all topics and areas of the industry (cost per sale, cost per lead, cost per action) were up for discussion and where opinions could be really freely expressed.
Sam and I chatted about the goals of AffSpot and the fact that this is not meant to be a replacement to other valued affiliate gathering spots like ABW, 5 Star Affiliate or noted “Black Hat” hangout Wickedfire.com , but another resource for people involved in all facets of the performance marketing industry.
I have launched a forum for my OPM company GTO Management as well as a forum for the Christian Affiliate Marketing Association there - I hope to see you on the threads.
God Bless,
Wade

AffSpot.com - a new forum for the affiliate marketing industry
Jul 28, 2008 Affiliate Industry News
I am really excited to be involved with the launch of a new forum for the affiliate marketing industry at www.affspot.com
Here is a video from AffSpot founder Sam Harrelson on AffSpot and what the goals of the forum are:
Forums like this are important because they are gathering places for the industry and places where people can exchange ideas in a public forum. As an affiliate, merchant, or service provider, there is much that can be learned from watching and more importantly participating in the discussion as you become comfortable and have something to share, whether this is insight on someone else’s question, or a question of your own.
You will notice that my company GTO Management and the Christian Affiliate Marketing Association have forums set up at AffSpot now. I hope you will join us there.
